I bought these for a west facing balcony.  Basically, I just wanted a couple of chairs to sit in for visiting or reading.  They come fully assembled, all I had to do was take off what seemed like miles of bubble wrap that protected them well.  They are smaller chairs with narrow arms but comfortable for anyone who has back issues.  Plus I can stack them or even store them in a closet for the winter.  All in all, I am pleased with them
